The Mechanic

Synopsis

The Mechanic Chapter 9 has been released. As Wrench's makeshift shelter crumbled beneath a hail of scrap metal scraps, desperation clawed its way up his throat – the taste of survival seared his senses like molten steel. His family teetered precariously on the edge of existence in the merciless Iron Wasteland Harbor; only one thread bound them together – their shared dream of becoming the greatest Mech Master. But for Wrench, that was a luxury reserved for those born with silver spoons and more importantly, Sacred Marks. It wasn't supposed to be possible for someone without – but fate had other plans when Wrench stumbled headfirst into an unforgiving chasm, only to awaken amidst decaying stone with the soundless voice of Vermilion Bird echoing through his mind. The rebel force that slid silently across Wrench's conscience cracked wide open upon meeting those fierce blue eyes; they mustered defiance against all reason and expectation. As the mysterious connection calling itself 'Vermilion Bird' offered cryptic aid and succor, it became hard not to acknowledge there were many truths hidden behind yesterday's news about some far-off vanquished empire – ones so blood-soaked even ghosts would shudder to recall the names – Starfall's corrupt sequel unfolded gradually before him now, twisted requiem offering relative degree of solid ground amid chaos generally believed eternally ill-formed mirroring soured mantras.
